The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is a 2015 spy film directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Ritchie and Lionel Wigram. It is based on the 1964 MGM television series of the same name, which was created by Norman Felton and Sam Rolfe. The film stars Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, and Hugh Grant. The film was produced by RatPac-Dune Entertainment and Davis Entertainment while Turner Entertainment Co., the original TV series current holder, was also involved. In 1993, John Davis obtained the rights for a film adaptation based on the original series. However, the film fell into development limbo due to multiple script rewrites. Over the years, Matthew Vaughn, David Dobkin, and Steven Soderbergh were optioned for directing until Ritchie signed on in March 2013. The film premiered at Barcelona on August 2, 2015, and was released on August 14, 2015, by Warner Bros. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box office bomb, grossing only $110 million worldwide on a $75 million budget. Rolling Stone listed this movie 50th on the best action movies of all time.

Evening, comrade. You're not supposed to be making contact in public. - You're being followed. - I know. Two men from hotel lobby. Mid-30s. One in brown suit. Other in leather jacket, which is why you should leave. They diverted when you turned down the Steps. So I imagine they'll be waiting ahead for you.

Someone is trying to make sure that your fiance is really an architect... ...and not someone who's trained how to fight. KGB agent, for example. I said, you are not needed here.
